Nothing in that article particularly changed my mind on anything tbh. You’ve got to start somewhere and the Zuku kingdom was a step change on size and relevance. Pretty sure the other states mentioned there are a fraction of the size of the Zulu one. The pre Zulu stuff in school was mostly framed as regional flows of people rather than focus on specific states (realistically we’re talking more city states anyway). Eg the Bantu expansion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantu_expansion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantu_expansion
